Re: League’s internal memo suggests that suspensions will be re-issued

I didn't read the decision, but in order to punish the players, didn't the appeals panel dictate that Goodell must present evidence other than what has been submitted in order to justify any suspension? If that's the case, the whole process has to start from scratch, he has to present the evidence to the players and allow diligence and a hearing. Then an appeal after the "ruling."

I don't think the League has thought through this. The ruling utterly blasted the NFL's process and made it impossible for them to simply re-issue punishment. None of us are experts, so the roller-coaster will still ride.

Re: League’s internal memo suggests that suspensions will be re-issued

conduct detrimental
The true conduct detrimental to the game was the excessive punishment.
Had Roger punished the exact same players 1/4th of what he did, the players would probably have agreed the punishment fit the crime, and the NFL message would still have been heard loud and clear.

Its similar to fining someone $10,000 for speeding. Yep, the "law" was broken but the punishment was way way too excessive.

Why didn't Goddell do the right thing in the first place, the SOB. He cheated just as much as he thinks those four players did to get what he wanted. How does that make anything right? It doesn't and the dumbarse is hurting the reputation of a sport that is followed like no other.

Re: League’s internal memo suggests that suspensions will be re-issued

On the field means non suspension penalty right? What if Twinkle Nuts (my new favorite) levies fines instead? I keep hearing suspension, suspension, suspension, but he could take the $$$ route instead. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The kommisar is a self serving ***** of a megalomaniac, but I don't think he's insane. Do the players still take it to court?

I don't think they would for fines as long as it was widely reported as a pay-per-performance matter.


My hope is we get next season draft pick back.
When the Broncos got caught violating the cap twice in a few years both times it was under $1ml fine and a third round pick.We lost a second allready do should be pushing being the scenes to get the pick back.

Re: League’s internal memo suggests that suspensions will be re-issued

The funny thing to me is that ALL OF OUR SUPPOSEDLY ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR IS ON TAPE! If you want to give evidence of pay for injury why not just look for plays where Saints players took cheap shots? Show us that? I mean, look at the 2009 playoffs, I think it was clear that McCray and Hargrove were trying to hurt those QBs, I think it was to win the game, not for some bounty, but it's on tape, you can see it! If we have been brazenly trying to injure people, just show us where it happened on the game tapes!!
